    Mammary Gland Hyperplasia

    Hi guys, I wanted to create a post, because when this happened to my kitten, I was so terrified, so sure that she was seriously ill, and seeing a post like this would have really helped my nerves. So, I kept pestering my vet for neutering, but they told me to wait as she was still quite little...

    Aggression and distrust

    Hi everyone. An update and a question for you guys. First, Dilb had a heart scan and they found he was healthy enough to be neutered. They recommended another scan in a year. They think he might have anxiety, because his murmur is only detectable when we're not around. So, yay, he has been...

    Elf trying to mount Sphynx

    Does anyone have a male and female, both fixed (neutered and spayed), yet the male tries to mate with the (very uninterested) female? My Elf was neutered at 10 weeks, but since he turned 1 year old, he seems to have these daily urges where he wants to bite my spayed Sphynx on the neck and mount...

    Our boys are getting neutered today

    So Fritz and Aphex are now 6 months and they’re currently at the vets getting neutered and microchipped. We made sure they’re not using any ketamine and they fasted overnight so I'm hoping there won’t be any problems, but I still worry. We dropped them off at 9.30 and they told us to phone at...

    Bad Experience with a Vet in Hamilton, Canada

    This is probably going to be somewhat of a rant so I apologize in advance, but I just wanted to share my experience with a local vet I've been dealing with in Hamilton. I've been super stressed out trying to find a reputable vet in my area for my babies neuter that I actually had 3 appointments...

    So scared for my little girl

    pixie is going to be neutered tomorrow and although the vet has reassured me they won't use ketamine I'm still worrying! Also she had her inoculations/kitten jabs ten days ago and today it's really swollen around the site although not hot or sore. Is that normal in a possible herpes kitten? I'm...

    Should I spay or neuter my sphynx cat?

    Reasons for spaying/neutering Greatly reduces behavioral problems like spraying in both male and female cats. Cats that are altered live longer lives according to statistics. Neutered male cats live 40% longer lives than those not neutered. Female cats if not spayed and not bred can develop...

    Redish bruising after neuter?

    Hey everyone! I got my little guy neutered on Wednesday. Picked up him up in the evening and he's seemed fine. He's been eating and acting normally. I checked this morning and everything was fine but after getting home from work there was a large red spot between his back legs. I took him to the...

    Spaying personality change?

    Today Sansa is getting spayed (most likely). I'm worried that it will change her personality, because even though she can be really crazy and gets into moods scratching everyone (playfully), it has grown on me and I don't want to see her any less rambunctious. Has anyone's female cat's changed...

    Terrible bruising after neuter

    I had Poet neutered this week and he developed horrible bruising. It's gotten worse since Tues morning when he was neutered. I took him back to the vet and he wants to wait a couple more days to see if it clears up. Anyone else experienced this?

    Scar/wound after spay?

    Do you guys think this is healing normally? My friend (who has many cats) said it just looks like scar tissue. She did have dissolvable stitches in, but on her checkup visit to the vets, they removed most of them as I told them she had been pulling at them with her teeth. (She was determined to...

    Neuter

    My adult male sphynx who is 2 1/2 years old just got neutered today and he's still a little disorientated from the anesthesia but he keeps trying to lick/nibble at his incision site. The sac is still there and hangs pretty low because it will take time to recover and shrivel up but in the mean...
